In an increasingly complex global landscape marked by evolving forms of organised crime, technological disruption, geopolitical instability and growing threats to security and justice systems, addressing crime and justice challenges requires coordinated responses that combine research, policy dialogue and operational cooperation. 

From 10 to 12 March 2026, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), in partnership with the Namibian Correctional Service, organised a three-day workshop in Windhoek to pilot and validate a Virtual Reality (VR) rehabilitation tool designed to support offender rehabilitation in correctional settings.

The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) are launching the second edition of the Crime, Justice and Security Training Programme for Police Advisors and Diplomatic Personnel.
